Overview
There are no criteria for the diagnosis of adenoiditis. However, seeing inflamed and hypertrophied adenoid tissue with flexible or rigid nasopharyngoscopy can be used as a criteria for adenoidectomy in patients suspected to chronic adenoiditis.
Diagnostic criteria
Adenoiditis diagnosis can be confirmed if during flexible or rigid nasopharyngoscopy inflamed adenoid tissue is seen.[1]
- Flexible or rigid nasopharyngoscopy can provide a direct visualization of nasopharynx and Waldeyer ring so the inflamed adenoid tissue can be seen too.
- Seeing inflamed and hypertrophied adenoid tissue with flexible or rigid nasopharyngoscopy can be used as a criteria for adenoidectomy in patients suspected of chronic adenoiditis.
